Yes ofcourse by improving strength of lower back, hip, knee and ankle joints but only then if you having pain occasionally or not regular pain. In case you have untorleable pain, affecting your routein and dependent on others for walk or daily activities then you should replace it as soon as possible to make life so easy and comfortable. Prevent your other joints like, knee or ankle overstressed. You can take physiotherapy treatment along with regular basis exercises of joints until you are not prepared for surgery.
